Language and Script
Safaitic

Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
WH: h-wqʿt "this stone"
Commentary
The author seems to have omitted the last two letters of his father's name and then added them above wqʿt. For the interpretation of wqʿt see Al-Jallad & Jaworska (in press). The inscription below WH 1753 is WH 1843. It is not clear why WH separated them.
